more bits

 Did the postal route today, missed the rain.  It has turned quite cold out.  The teeth still hurt to put in and to take out - and my health checkup to see where they are rubbing or cutting is on Tuesday.   I'm still taking the ibuprofen and the antibiotics.

 

We shopped yesterday and I got several more zucchinis and a red pepper - made this soup:

 

some water, less than 2 cups 

1 tbsp of olive oil 

1 smaller potato left from last bag

big handful of fresh cut zucchini

small handful of the chopped red pepper

frozen chopped onions

part of the black bean puree I still had from the other soups

the last 1/3 of the small container of tomato paste

black pepper, garlic Parmesan seasoning and paprika

 That had to boil a very long time because of the potato 

used the stick blender to grind it up

have made three bowls of soup out of it and used it as a spread over an omelet as well

 

I have a lot more of the zucchini, onions and peppers in the freezer to make more soups, and bought two more cans of the beans and chickpeas that I have been using.  Mark and Esme ate baked potato and pork chop but I really can't eat the meat yet unless I cut it up miniscule - the egg omelet was good for that for me. 

Headed for bed - I took the teeth out at 6 or 7 pm last night after a very hard day and quite a bit of 'bite' in one place that I wanted relief from.  Putting them in HURT, but I put face wash all over my face and let them settle in while I focused on washing my face - and by that point, it was almost bearable.  I took them out a bit after 8 tonight, and have to get back up at 11:30 to take the antibiotic.  The goal is to keep them in until 10 or 10:30 but right now I can't sleep through the night, either.
